Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Police state they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then found many other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report initial examinations show the fluid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; authorities are not yet aware of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the public for tips.
A high-ranking political figure stated the attack rendered him stunned and had to be solved promptly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a gunman targeting people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
